An Ice skating rink has two way you can use the facility. First option is to pay $10 per visit. The second option is to pay $32 per month, and $6 per visit. Write and solve an equation to show the number of visits it would take for the cost of the two plans to be equal
Let x be the number of visits.
For the first option: Cost = $10 per visit
For the second option: Cost = $32 + $6x
To find the number of visits where the costs are equal, we set the two equations equal to each other:
$10x = $32 + $6x
Subtract 6x from both sides:
$4x = $32
Divide by 4 on both sides:
x = 8
Therefore, it would take 8 visits for the cost of the two plans to be equal.
